Hi all,
I have what I hope is a simple question. Is it possible to create a resource that calls itself? Here's an example of what I'm thinking.
<map:resource name="foo"> <map:act type="resource-exists"> <map:parameter name="src" value="{../path}/foo.xml"/> <map:generate src="{../path}/foo.xml"/> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:act> <map:call resource="foo"> <map:parameter name="path" value="{path}/../"/> </map:call> </map:resource> .. <map:match pattern="**/foo.xml"> <map:call resource="navigation"> <map:parameter name="path" value="{1}"/> </map:call> </map:match>
What I'm hoping to accomplish is to look for a file "foo.xml" in a given directory passed as the parameter "path". If the file exists, generate it. If the file doesn't exist, look in the parent directory for it.
I see no reason why it should not work in general. In the above code there is only one mistake: the parameter of the action must be {path}/foo.xml instead of {../path}/foo.xml. That's because the parameter belongs to the action and is not inside it. The context change that makes the ../ necessary is only inside the action.
